I've used D&K motorcycle and Pacific Pipe Repair to fix pipes before> both have done a good job with the slight nod to PPR because if you bend a pipe crazy the have a jig for almost every pipe and they can bend them back to original shape.
But.... I think if you're going whole hog... you should just get a RR pipe so it gets some better top end.
Excellent input, thanks. I think I will send that stick pipe in to get straightened out. What was the turn around time?
I fully planned to get a big boy pipe, but further reading has me apprehensive. First off I’ll be the first to admit that I went overboard on the Honda. I don’t want another bike that is temperamental and hard to keep happy.
Initially I wanted a FMF Gnarly because of their heavy gauge metal and added low end grunt. I’ve read an equal amount of reports good and bad on these for the Xtrainer though. The bad reports say that jetting gets finicky unless you switch to the RR ECU as well. Some people even say that the added torque constantly makes the tire break loose (like that could be bad ha ha).
Another pipe I’ve been looking into is made by Scalvini. I really want to like this pipe because it’s tucked way up high like a 4-stroke pipe. The power gain seems to be more broad and my bike could use a bit more top end pep. Downside to these is that there isn’t much feedback on the internet for the Xtrainer. I’m also curious how thin the metal cones would be.
What do you think of this power curve??
